26: Societies to be bodies corporate

You could also call this:

"A group of people working together is treated like one person under the law."

A society is considered a body corporate. You know a body corporate is like a person, but it's not a real person. It's a group of people who work together and can make decisions, own things, and enter into agreements, just like a person can, as stated in the repealed section 26 of the Wildlife Act 1953, which was repealed by the Conservation Law Reform Act 1990, found at https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1986/0120/latest/link.aspx?id=DLM209121.
